I guess I would want to look for what I thought I needed. But a T who is compromised is a factor that I think holds more potential for harm than good. I see it as people can have all sorts of talents. And while it's possible for a T to have an extraordinary talent derived, in part, from a negative life experience, finding such a person would be very difficult to do. I wouldn't be able to experience that talent without engaging in the process. If I engage, and then find that the T's life experience plays out harmfully rather than wonderfully, I've been harmed in the process. I'd rather avoid the risk (and the theoretically possible extra benefit).

As an academic, I know how difficult it is to earn the Doctorate, and how comparatively easy it is to earn the Masters. It certainly isn't a guarantee, but if someone's incentive really is fulfilling a self-need, a Doctorate is a much bigger hassle to commit to, so less likely.
Thanks for this!
